I was dealing with work turmoil and on vacation for most of June so I didn’t get the chance to write as many in depth reviews as I’d have liked to. Which is a shame because some of these deserved a longer look; I just didn’t have the time or energy… The Cage **** I went back-and-forth on my review. I’ve been giving out a lot of 4-star reviews lately and considered docking the book for that reason since it’s very borderline. But the more I […]

A cool collaboration of thriller writers and characters

Face Off by David Baldacci

April 26, 2022 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

This is the second collaboration audiobook I’ve borrowed and read from my library. I got into it because of my buddy Michael Connelly. If you read my previous review that I just posted, you’ll know that maybe he’s not my buddy after all, but Harry Bosch is. Conveniently, Harry is in this book! The wording on Goodreads calls this “an unprecedented collaboration”, which sounds very grand. I didn’t really get it until I looked at all the authors involved and listened to the intro. Apparently […]

I’m starting to believe that I just love Harry Bosch, not necessarily Michael Connelly?

Chasing the Dime by Michael Connelly

April 26, 2022 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

This book isn’t my first non-Bosch based Michael Connelly book, but my second. I think I read the first one last year (Void Moon) when I wasn’t actually participating in CBR. Unfortunately, I didn’t like that one either! I think I just love the characters in the Bosch books, including the character of Los Angeles. Anyone who says that LA isn’t a character hasn’t read a Bosch book. Anyway, this book is about a guy who’s doing some kind of AI / tech / computery […]

Dangerous Women by Michael Connelly and various other authors

Last year (literally the beginning of January 2021) I started reading the Detective Harry Bosch books. There are twenty something in total that are just Bosch books. There are also some offshoots that are considered part of the Harry Bosch Universe. They include: Mickey Haller – Bosch’s half brother, and the Lincoln Lawyer (obviously the book first, but the Matthew McConaughey movie character too), Jack McEvoy – a reporter that intersects with Harry a few times, Terry McCaleb – an FBI agent who works with […]

The Overlook by Michael Connelly

November 28, 2021 by Jake 1 Comment

Happy Thanksgiving! In addition to feasting on food, I spend the holiday feasting on books. After a few long reads, I plowed through some things I’ve been meaning to get to for a while. Enjoy! Y: The Last Man **** I was excited to finally read this, being a big Brian K. Vaughan fan and being intrigued by the premise. Stephen King blurbed this as the best comic he ever read. The TV show looked good and I wanted to get in on it. And […]

There Goes The Neighborhood

Echo Park by Michael Connelly

September 14, 2021 by Jake Leave a Comment

Read as part of CBR13Bingo: Cityscape. My cover has a cityscape photo of Los Angeles in the background, with Echo Park presumably in the foreground. As I said in my last review of a Michael Connelly book (City of Bones, which I liked), you know from the start usually whether or not it’s going to be a good Harry Bosch tale. This one was lacking, though it had its moments. A seasoned mystery reader is going to see how a story like this unfolds from […]

Emmalita on But who ever really knows the experience of another?I've been burned by author recommendations so many times.
Emmalita on “Your body was numb to grief; perhaps you had felt it once, but you did not feel it anymore.”I'll send you another one if you need it later. The invitations do time out.
narfna on “Your body was numb to grief; perhaps you had felt it once, but you did not feel it anymore.”Well, I just clicked the link but it's blocked at my work, so. Sucky.
Emmalita on New Love and a Complete Bingo Board!Congratulations!
wicherwill on thank you to my friend EvinThe characters also don't really do the fantasy bits--they begrudgingly put up with the weird, which is why I was struggling with whether this counts...
